This book is a reference source for fuchsia enthusiasts which will serve as a guide for all those who are keen to either start or broaden their collection of plants. Illustrated in full colour throughout - each of the 1000 varieties are pictured - the book is published in collaboration with the Dutch Fuchsia Society which was founded in 1965 and is the largest in the world. The book covers a vast range of cultivars, species and varieties and discusses cultivation requirements, with illustrations arranged according to colour and flower-shape. Checklists in which the plants are gathered by colour, type, flower-size, training and growing requirements are included as well as a list of recommended further reading and useful addresses.
